Our Picks
6 hotels · Updated February 2026
Centro
A family-owned clifftop hotel offering spectacular sea views, a pool terrace that has featured in a hundred magazine shoots, and genuine Amalfi Coast hospitality at a price somewhat below Positano's stratospheric top end. The Poseidon's terraced gardens and personal service make it one of the village's most beloved addresses.
Centro
A terracotta-painted villa with a magnificent pool terrace and sweeping Positano bay views, Marincanto occupies the sweet spot between Positano's ultra-luxury top tier and its modest pensioni — offering genuine sea views, a quality restaurant, and well-appointed rooms at prices that allow a week's stay rather than just two nights.
Chiesa Nuova
High above the main village on the hillside of Chiesa Nuova, La Scalinatella is Positano's secret hideaway — a clifftop property offering some of the most dramatic panoramic views on the entire Amalfi Coast, with an intimate atmosphere and genuine tranquillity away from the tourist thoroughfares.
Fornillo
A smaller, more intimate alternative to Positano's grande dame hotels, Eden Roc sits on the quieter Fornillo beach with direct sea access and excellent value for the Amalfi Coast. The family-run character, pool terrace, and laid-back atmosphere make it a popular return destination for guests who appreciate quality without ostentation.
Arienzo
Once the private compound of Franco Zeffirelli, Villa Treville is now an exclusive nine-villa retreat that operates more like a private estate than a hotel. The theatrical interiors, clifftop position, and ultra-private atmosphere make it the Amalfi Coast's most distinctive luxury experience for those who prioritise seclusion above all.
Arienzo
Carved into the cliff face between Positano and Praiano, Il San Pietro is one of the world's great hotel achievements — a family-owned property that descends 12 floors through the cliff to a private beach, with each room individually designed and every terrace offering unobstructed sea views. A masterpiece of Italian hospitality.
